Stravinsky rakes progress

This 2007 production of Igor Stravinskys opera in three acts and an epilogue THE RAKES PROGRESS was recorded live at the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie Brussels. Starring Laura Claycomb Andrew Kennedy William Shimell and Julianne Young under the direction of acclaimed theatre director and playwright Robert Lepage.    

Like New condition Stravinsky's masterwork, created for La Fenice in Venice in 1951, is based on a libretto by W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman, inspired by a series of 18th century prints by William Hogarth.  This 2007 production from La Monnaie-De Munt 'jazzifies' the setting by replacing Hogarth's sin city, London, with 1950s Las Vegas, turning it into a glittering, cinematic gallery of tableaux vivants inspired by the early days of television.  The conductor is Kazushi Ono while the stage direction comes from the celebrated Robert Lepage.
